Hello,

to push Control, Alt, Delete please go in menu bar 'Actions' -> 'Send keys' -> 'Ctrl+Alt+Del'.

Best regards,

On a regular apple keyboard, you simulate <alt>-<F4>(end task) with <fn><alt><f4>. might even be the same on a macbook. If you want the taskmgr so you can forcibly quit an application, then the send keys option posted by Stacy M is one way. If the Parallels application is the front most window, then <fn><ctrl><alt><del> should also work, but you need to pianist to do that easily.

What is/where is <fn> Thanks for your helpful tips bi11

Hello,

the Fn-key can be found only on MacBook and MacBookPro.
You can also try to use Apple+Ctrl+Alt+Del.

Best regards,

The <fn> key can be found on the new wired metal keyboards also. It is located in the set of 9 keys between the alpha keys and the numeric keys(look above the arroe keys). Look to the right of the delete key on the alpha set. On the older white and clear plastic keyboards, the place where the <fn>key is on the metal keyboards is occupied by the <help> key. I don't know if the <help> key is the modifier for Parallels like the <fn> key is on the metal keyboards.
